First Look At Avengers: Age Of Ultron Villain

Movie fans have been given their first glimpse of the titular villain fromAvengers: Age Of Ultron.

The cover of the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly shows the character lurking menacingly behind Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man and Chris Evans' Captain America.

Played by James Spader - via motion capture and voiceover - the robot is originally created by Tony Stark to allow him to hang up his Iron Man suit - however the artificial intelligence goes awry and it becomes a threat to the world.

Director Joss Whedon tells EW: "Ultron sees the big picture and he goes, 'OK, we need radical change, which will be violent and appalling, in order to make everything better'.

"He's not just going 'Muhaha, soon I'll rule!' He's on a mission. He wants to save us."

The movie's cast is heading to Comic Con next week, so expect more leakage then.
